SP101 Grips

I have a SP101 in .357 with the shorter barrel. I have the factory grips that I'm not overly impressed with. I also have the Hogue grips that are very comfortable and make it easy to shoot the gun. I have relatively small hands but they fit the Hogue grips just fine. My only gripe is that the rubber finish on the hogue grips catch on my clothes and are abrasive to my skin I I don't wear an undershirt. Do y'all have some suggestions that would work a little better for me?

+1 for wood grips. I have the big SP101 (4.20 barrel so I dont know how it translates to the shorter versions) and when I would OWB carry with the Hogue rubber it was always tugging at my shirt. I went to hogue rosewood and I like it though they may be a bit big to conceal. YMMV

SP101 Grips

Just what I needed to see! Although I can't argue with how comfortable the Hogue grips are, the grippy texture and extra length make it a no go for carrying, even owb. I guess I'm going to have to un-ass the money for Badgers. Do they make them in a synthetic material, or are they only available in wood? Plain black plastic would be perfect for me, but didn't see it on the website.

If the Hogue (rubber) grips catch on your clothes & abrade your hide, you need to ditch 'em immediately. Getting tangled-up in your cover clothing can quickly put you at the bloody end of a gunfight. Go to the Gemini Customs (Frankfort, Ky) website, they are Jedi Masters of the SP101. There you'll find answers & goodies galore for your fine Ruger j-frame.

I'll go check them out. Luckily, this isn't my only carry gun. I'm trying to get it set up right before it takes its place in the rotation!
